This study investigated the effects of feeding clinoptilolite (CLN; 2.5% of diet dry matter) with a particle size of either 30- or 400-µm on ruminal fermentation characteristics, measures of nitrogen (N) utilization, and manure ammonia-N (NH3) emissions in feedlot cattle. The impact of directly applying 30- or 400-µm CLN to the pen surface (2,250 kg/ha) on manure NH3-N emissions was also evaluated.

- This research aimed to assess the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of a specific plant species, along with evaluating the best methods for extracting and analyzing its compounds.
- The analysis of the leaves revealed a decent nutritional profile, including protein content (13.4%), significant levels of minerals like potassium and magnesium, and important fatty acids.
- Despite the plant's low antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, its leaves show potential as feed for ruminants due to their beneficial chemical composition and also contain some valuable functional ingredients.
This paper applies a social metabolism framework and energy flow analysis for evaluating agroecosystem and land use transitions in food-energy-water systems using the Upper Snake River Basin (USBR), Idaho, USA as a case-study. The study area is one of the primary agricultural regions of the State of Idaho. Dairy products are the primary agricultural outputs of the region; therefore, we modified a biomass accounting framework to explicitly incorporate the role of manure in the agroecosystem.
